Enough.

Over the past couple of years I've had the privilege to celebrate "milestone" birthdays with some good friends. Each time, whether we've been in a big city or at the beach -- it's been a privilege to say to this dear one, in the presence of others who think she's special, "you are a gift to the world"! One of these trips was for my very own milestone birthday and I gotta tell you, there's nothing like being surrounded by LOVE. When you are intentional about the place and the people, this "being known" then has the chance to do its work. It finds its way into your bones and then, you end up waking up to what's always been true about you...

God has been dreaming about and for you, since you were being knit together in your mama's womb. A dream so big that nothing in your experience so far could ever have imagined it.

I hope I have lots of milestone celebrations left.
But for now, to the women I love...
Know this -- God's thinking about you right now and smiling.
You, just you, bring Him that much joy.
It's not what you've done or created or started or produced or achieved that He delights in.
It's you.
It always has been,
YOU always have been...
Enough.
